Maliyah Iyannah Link

Maliyah Iyannah Link, age 3, left this world unexpectedly on June 3^rd, 2025. She was born on July 15, 2021 in New Jersey to Joi Trotman and Kasim Link.

Maliyah was a bright and vivacious young girl. She was often found dancing through life. Her signature outfit she wore everywhere was a tutu along with two puffs in her hair. Maliyah is described by those who knew her best as free spirited and full of love, especially for her family whom she loved endlessly. She loved to laugh and always brought those around her smiles. Maliyah was also a big fan of the cartoon television show ‘Bluey’, which she watched with her siblings.

Maliyah is survived by her mother, Joi Trotman, father, Kasim Link, her loving siblings whom she was raised with, her aunties, Kai Trotman and Tashawna Lyle, loving cousin Raylen-skai Polk, and godmom, Monaca Sanon.
